The scheduling of candidates’ driving tests is the responsibility of the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and as Minister, I have no power to intervene in individual cases.
The Road Safety Authority has advised it is prioritising driver testing for essential workers and has set up a dedicated webform on its website www.rsa.ie.
This webform will allow customers to assess whether they qualify for an urgent test appointment and if so, to submit an application for same. If the applicant’s request is accepted, they will be placed on a short notice list.
